New York Newspaper Omces.


One of the curiosities of New York TO
me is its printing houses, the palaces de-
voted to the dissemination of information
for the people at popular prices. In mag
nificence Of structure The Tribune leads.
1t towers over its peers on Printing House
row, and at night is brilliantly lighted
AS it is a building alone, not in block,
it is of course the most noticeable OF all
the city's newspaper offices. It's neigh
bors right and left are The Sun, The
Times, The World, The Star and hosts OF
smaller publications.
Opposite old St. Paul's Episcopal
church, corner Of Ann and Broadway, on
the site of the old museum, is The Herald s
white marble printing house.
a little further down on the corner OF
Fulton street is The Evening Post build
ing, and down Fulton street is the building
occupied by The Commercial Advertiser
since the day of its first establishment.
The business and press rooms Of The Times
are the most commOdiOus, convenient and
orderly of all the New York journals.
The World is too rushing to care for com
fort, The Tribune too busy and The sun
too careless; but they all thrive and keep
an army of reporters constantly on the qui
vive unearthing the city's transactions.
Pay or no pay, they are jolly crowd and
as sharp as the small gamins that besiege
the printing houses after the issue Of any
paper-New York Cor. Chicago Journal

CbastIv ReIics at washington.

Beside the pistol there is still retained
the bullet which penetrated Lincoln.s
brain as well as portions Of the skull
which was fractured in the vicinity OF the
wound, the dagger which Booth fiour1shed
on the stage as he shouted sic semper
tyrannis'' and the saddle on which he RODE
when he made his escape. The large
bullet is fattened somewhat by reason OF
the resistance it encountered IN penetrat-
ing the skull of the president, and on one
side almost fndistinct, however, may still
be seen the letters IA L." which were
marked for its Identification at the time
of the trial of Mrs Surratt, Payne, har-
roId and AtZerOdt.
The clippings from the skull are pre-
served in q small circular case like but
ton. an inch and half in diameter,
small glass like watch crystal permit
ting a view of the pieces of bone without
danger of their being lost The dagger
is a two edged affair with deer's horn
handle and blade about as long as one $
hand. 4 leather case much worn and
broken at one end usually covers the
weapon. It was with this dagger that
Booth turned upon Col. Rathbone, whose
tragic end in Germany was chronicled a
few months ago, when the latter tried to
seize the murderer and prevent him from
escaping.-Cleyeland Leader.

The Raiah's Wife.

The following anecdote illustrates the
extreme delicacy of sentiment among the
Raipoot women. The celebrated Rajah
Jey Sing Of Amber had married princess
of Harvati, whose simple provincial man
ners and dress subjected her to the badin-
age of the refined and superbly dressed
ladies of the court of Amber. One day
the rajah began playfully to make re-
marks about the sweeping jupOn
of the princess, and, taking up a
pair of scissors, said he would reduce
it to the fashionable length. Highly
offended at this playful remark, she
seized his sword, and, assuming threat
ening attitude, said that in the house to
which she belonged they were not used
to such jests, that mutual respect was the
guardian not only of happiness but of
virtue, and she assured him that if he
again dared to insult her he would find
the daughter of Harvati could use a
sword better than the Prince of Amber
his scissors.-Hindoo in London Queen.

Not the Desired Effect.

was very naughty A detailed account
of her misdemeanOTs was given to her
mother, and her advice was asked.
''Bring her in to me, " she said, land

iect will do
The little one was accordingly brought
into her mother, who wildly portrayed TO
her the offences of which she had been
guilty, endeavoring to put the case IN
such a way as to impress the child deep
". The effort was quite exhaIlsting, but
the mother felt convinced, from the
chiId's earnest attention, that the desired
effect had been produced.
"You may go now, dear," she SAID;

superstitions Concerning Children.

Children born on Sundays are said to
have the power of second sight or cairvoy-
anee. If new born babe has particu-
larly old look you can conclude that it
will not live to grow up. If you have it's
picture taken before it is year old it
will meet with the same sad fate. The
same is said of children who are al
lowed to play with flowers or who are
taken inside a cemetery at this early
period of life.
furthermore, a child under IL months
old must not be allowed to see its image
in the looking glass for fear of its becom-
ing vain later in life. If you look over a
chiId's head it will not grow any more
If little children kiss each other before
they can speak they will never learn any
thing. If little daughter resemble her
mother she will never have particle of
good luck in all her life. If a girl baby is
given its mothers name it will not live.
The same is said of son who is named
after his father.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cvrus w. Field at Home.

Mr.. Field is still at his country house,
but the illness of a daughter kept him in
the city for three or four nights last week.
He rises at o'clock in summer and at
O'Clock in winter. 1t is his custom to re-
tire promptly at 10o'clock unless he is out
for an evening at the theatre or on some
social occasion. AS his town house is
closed he has ',een hunting around at
different hotels to find out which could
give him the earliest breakfast He told
me that he was able to get breakfast at
the Fifth Avenue hotel any time after 5
O'Clock, at the Clarendon any time after
6 o'clock, and at the Hoffman any time
after O'Clock. Mr.. Field came to New
York in 1885, the year of the big fire. He
has consequently had about 80 years of
this early rising and of his vigorous work

The Fest FIRE Escape.

A commercial drummer of my acquaint-

interest born of several exciting scenes
assures me that the best fire escape In the
world can be tucked away in ones pocket

sists simply of a strong hemp cord, with

breaks out tie one end to your bedstead
and throw the other end out of the win

A number Of years ago there was travelling

to keep his face straight until the end. when
